Fairy Tale Hags as Mentor, Monster, Mother: From Baba Yaga to The Little Mermaid's Ursula

Emily and Sammy return to unpack the hag across myth and fairy tales. They analyze the evil witch from Snow White, the story of Hansel & Gretel, Baba Yaga, the Greek Furies and Hecate, Ursula and Andersen’s Little Mermaid, Lilith, and Morgan Le Fay. In short, they examine how patriarchy recasts aging or independent women as monsters.

Listen for myth analysis, cultural context, and a reclaiming of the “hag” as complex, powerful, and often misunderstood.
